Luxbury Inn and Suites

• The Luxbury Inn and Suites bills itself as Blount County's only all-suite hotel, according to its website. These suites include a full kitchen, if you feel like buying your own groceries and cooking meals in your room. Rooms come in three versions: suite, one-bedroom and two-bedroom. Suites also feature free high-speed Internet access, televisions with cable programming (some suites feature a television in each living area), laundry facilities and free health club access. The Luxbury is near the Capitol Theatre, Maryville's destination for plays, concerts, movies and other special events. The theatre only seats 400 people, but its dinner theatre-style setting allows patrons to spread out, and it is available for private events.

RT Lodge

• The restaurant chain Ruby Tuesday's owns the RT Lodge, and it is Maryville's upscale accommodation. The RT Lodge has two inns that feature double and king-size beds with high-quality bedding. But many of the amenities are outside the rooms, as the RT has what its website calls a "hunting lodge" feel. It has indoor and outdoor fireplaces, a billiards room, a bar and lounge, and basketball and volleyball courts. The RT Lodge also has its own restaurant with its own executive chef who specializes in Southern cuisine. The RT Lodge is closest to Maryville College, which has been the city's chief center for secondary education since the school's founding in 1819.
